O Garmin Connect não é mau. Eis como o deixar limpo

The Garmin Connect app isn't terrible. It's built for everyone

Everyone says the Garmin Connect app is a mess. I don't think it's badly designed. The problem is that it's built for everyone.

The same app has to support every Garmin watch, every Edge bike computer and every scale, and it has to work for diving, golf, outdoor adventures, running, cycling and general health. So out of the box, your Home screen is packed with cards for things you might not do or own.

Compare that with Whoop. Its app only has to show health data from one device, which is exactly why it looks so clean. Garmin doesn't have that luxury, but you can give yourself the same result in about a minute.

Make the Home screen your own

1. Open the Garmin Connect app on the Home screen
2. Scroll all the way down and tap Edit Home
3. Add the cards you actually look at
4. Hide everything you don't need, and drag the rest into the order you want

Already looks way better, right?

How the Home screen is laid out

Two sections do most of the work:

• In Focus: the large cards at the top, room for up to 6. Put the numbers you check every morning here
• At a Glance: the smaller cards below, for everything you like to see but don't need big

What I'd keep

There's no right answer, but if you're not sure where to start:

• In Focus: Training Readiness, Sleep, Body Battery and HRV Status. Together they tell you how ready you are for today
• At a Glance: steps, resting heart rate, stress and intensity minutes
• Hide: anything for gear or sports you don't use. No golf, no diving, no Garmin scale? Those cards can go

Hiding a card doesn't delete any data. It's all still in Garmin Connect, and you can add a card back from the same Edit Home screen whenever you want.

The exact labels can shift a little between app versions, but Edit Home has lived at the bottom of the Home screen since Garmin's redesign.
